If Sirius has exclusive rights to the PGA and Sporting News Radio is covering it, then XM can't. That's Sporting News' fault for not having some sort of back up programming
When ESPN radio is covering a game that Sirius has exclusive coverage over or a baseball game you get ESPN game night instead of said game. Its a very temporary thing.

xm has exclusive rights to the pga. they have a pga channel on the weekend. they dont have enough bandwith to have both channels on. so they cut sporting news when its on..and maybe foxsports also. a week ago fox sports wasnt on my display...
xm carries everything on espn. including basketball. which sirius has exclusive rights to. the finals were on xm..and sirius..
and it may be temporary. but its every sunday. football sunday. wtf is the use of having a service that takes off a major sports channel for golf?? golf isnt even a sport!!
xm is cancelled. 2002-2005.liguid metal rip..its over xm..<P ID="signature">______________

Awesome does that mean you won't be posting any more?
Seriously, ESPN baseball games are not on ESPN Radio they're on the MLB channel... I never really had any trouble with any sporting events or channels being shut off. How do you know its XM and not the provider of the service.

actually espn also has games on the weekend. even though the feeds are on the other channels. they told me so. they dont have enough bandwith so they have to shut off something to add anything else.
and i am back on with xm. they gave me an offer i couldnt refuse!!!!!!!

But weeknights its always that Gamenight show right? Thats nice that they told you. I would have just as soon blamed TSN for not providing programming. Nice to see you're still with us.

I dunno. That would be a weak explanation if true. Its not like Sporting News talks PGA all afternoon, they report it as a news. Following that logic any channel that reported PGA events would get blacked out.
Don't matter. I've decided to hop over to eh-ehhh-ehn when Stern starts.

Despite some thoughts from below, I would wonder about the low bandwidth 'issue' as The PGA Channel runs an hourly show w/Peter Kessler, M-F starting at 8am and repeats hourly for several hours after it. If you like golf, it is really a good program as Peter has a slew of golf writers/teachers/players and has the programming flexibiltiy to spend more than 5 minutes racing through standard questions.
Additionally, SNN would need to be 'off' Thurs-Sun from 12-6 when 146 is doing live coverage from events, again, something I have on in my office or car if I want to follow the Tour. They do a nice job of updating the Nationwide, LPGA and Sr. Tour several times an hour. It is an excellent service for the PGA and a good use of the medium. Still sorting through some remote bugs, but overall a great addition for golf fans.
If it really is an issue, you all are going to hate this week when they go with extended coverage for the timezone challenged British Open; coverage starts at 7am.
